Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 22 July 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Aashu Sharma
- Respondent: EKTA
- Review Petition (Civil) Diary No. 20943/2026 arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 18‑02‑2026 in Transfer Petition (C) No. 2563/2025.
- The Review Petition sought to challenge the ex‑parte allowance of the Transfer Petition, which sought transfer of guardianship of child Ishika (Petition No. 118 of 2024 filed by the husband in Jodhpur).
- The child was residing with her mother in Bijnor; the court noted that a guardianship petition should ordinarily be filed where the child lives.
- Defects identified in the Review Petition: incorrect jurisdiction, deficit court fees, and missing preamble. A registry letter dated 07.05.2026 instructed counsel to cure these defects, which remained uncured.
- Application for listing the Review Petition in open court was rejected; delay in filing was condoned.
- The Transfer Petition had been allowed on 18.02.2026 based on an office report confirming service of notice on the sole respondent, who chose not to appear before the Court.
- The Court observed that there was no merit to entertain the Review Petition.
Final Outcome
- The Review Petition is dismissed in terms of the signed order.
- All pending applications, if any, are ordered disposed of.
